Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp granulated sugar (plus more for topping)
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup diced fresh strawberries
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
2 tsp butter (for pan and tortillas)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Strawberry sauce (for serving)
Instructions
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold in diced strawberries.
Spread a generous layer of the filling onto one tortilla, leaving space around the edges.
Heat 1 tsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the filled tortilla, cheesecake side up, into the pan.
Spread another tortilla with butter and place it, butter-side up, on top of the first tortilla.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, gently pressing, until golden and crispy.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the hot quesadilla.
Let sit for 2 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve with strawberry sauce.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing.
Only use fresh strawberries to avoid excess moisture.
Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
Try drizzling with chocolate, caramel, or serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
